Mr Michael Purcell |
Butler's Public House present-day Bradleys in
Graiguecullen.
Nationalist, August 1956.
 The death of Mr John Butler, Maryboro Street, Graiguecullen which
occurred on Sunday at his residence evoked feelings of deep regret
in Carlow. The late Mr Butler was attached to "A" Company 1st Batt.
Carlow Brigade, Irish Republican Army, and after the truce he joined
the National Army with the rank of Captain. He retired in 1929 being
retained on the reserve. He rejoined during the Emergency and at the
end of the World War he returned to manage his licensed premises in
1945.
Of a quite disposition , he was very popular with all classes.
The funeral to St. Mary's Cemetery on Tuesday , where a party of old
comrades fired three volleys over the grave and the last post was
sounded, was large and representative.
The above is a true and
accurate transcript of the original document.
Transcribed by M. Purcell c2010.
